cancer that grows despite low testosterone levels

Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) is a type of prostate cancer that continues to progress despite the reduction of testosterone to very low levels, typically achieved through medical or surgical means (castration). This form of cancer is particularly challenging to treat because it no longer responds to therapies that lower testosterone, a hormone that usually fuels prostate cancer growth.
